Indian travel demand remains strong during the festive season despite rising airfares and global uncertainties.

Airfares from the UAE to India are currently affordable but expected to rise as demand increases ahead of Dussehra and Diwali. Travelers are advised to book early, with both leisure and corporate travel contributing to the surge in bookings across flights, hotels, and trains.
